Cancer changes an entire family’s story.

When Charli was going through treatment, her siblings were also living through the fear, uncertainty and disruption that comes with childhood cancer.

Charli’s dad Pat McCabe shares why receiving bears mattered not just for Charli, but for her wider family too.

A bear is more than a gift. It can bring comfort, connection and a small moment of joy when a family needs it most.

Your donation helps support more than one child. It helps bring comfort to an entire family impacted by childhood cancer.
Donate today. 🧸

Charli was just two years old when she was diagnosed with leukaemia. After four intense blocks of chemotherapy, her cancer still wasn’t beaten.

Then research changed everything.

Through the ZERO Childhood Cancer Program, Charli’s DNA was studied and a special immunotherapy was found. Within months, she was cancer free.

The Kids’ Cancer Project helped fund the early pilot studies that made ZERO possible.

Charli’s story is proof that research saves lives.

Because of research, Charli is here today.

What makes Write a Book in a Day so special is the way it brings people together for something that truly matters, kids helping kids.

As one teacher shared, “Students get a chance to engage in a creative activity, collaborate in teams, work together to produce something amazing.”

From regional classrooms to city schools, students of all ages and backgrounds take on the challenge side by side, united by a shared purpose - bringing comfort to kids in hospital, while helping fund the research that could change their future 💛📚

Every pirate who took part is helping fund vital childhood brain cancer research, proving that when a crew comes together, huge impact can happen⚓

A huge thank you to the students, staff and everyone who made this incredible day possible.

Here’s to turning teamwork into real impact, and getting us one step closer to a world where no child dies from cancer.
